Mechainiac,
Yes, the outer bearing did come out on the driver's side. I didn't get a whole lot of time to fiddle with it today, but it seems that the shoes are frozen just a little bit away from the drum. I can move the brake hub about 1/4" out before the shoes are pressed up against the hub. I think once I get past this issue.. everything will come right off. I've turned the adjusters as far as they will go in each direction, with no luck. It's supposed to rain here for the next 4 days.. so I don't know how much time I'll actually get to work on it this week... But I will get this job done sooner or later.. lol grin

Thanks
Chris
